Oh, that makes sense (unfortunately :-) The rear seal is weepy, but I 
didn't think that bad. There was no sign of oil on the previous clutch 
(it's still in the lab, I never returned the core). I think I'll go look 
again.

Oh of course. It was rare, but did it twice yesterday, but it sat for 
three weeks or more. I may have to do the rear seal! Never did one in 
the car before. I have one of those BEST brand teflon jobs in the box 
here...

Thanks for the tip!
